Hi guys,

I'm in USA and will be traveling to Europe next month with my trimix. Of course, I'll need a refrigerator to keep my trimix frozen. I have questions about this:

1. I'll be staying at a hotel with no refrigerator in the room. What can I do about this?

2. How can I keep my trimix cold during a flight?

3. Will the airport allow needles in the carry-on bag with a doctor's note?

I bought an "insulin kit" from Amazon that works well. (zip kit with fitted freezer packs). At least for USA the rule appears to be needles are fine if accompanied by medications WITH PRESCRIPTION INFORMATION.

Hi there! Can you tell me what coolers are available that you know of that should fit in my carry-on?

How you ever traveled internationally with your trimix?

Would you post a link from amazon to the insulin kit you bought?

I think Trimix users worry too much about keeping it cold. I've never found a need to freeze it unless I want to store it for six months.

When traveling, I start with refrigerated (40F=4C) pre-loaded syringes in an eyeglass case with little freeze bags. If I find a refrigerator at my stops I use it; if not, the syringes warm to room temperature and I don't worry about it. I've used Trimix which has been at room temperature for four days without any drop in effectiveness.
